Day Trading Forex Currency: Not for the Beginning Trader
This might sound a little repetitive if you’ve read all of my blog posts about the Forex market, but it seems like every commercial you see on television about trading the Forex is touting day trading as the easy way of trading the Forex. There is no easy way to trade the Forex market, and day trading Forex currency is definitely not for the beginning Forex trading. Day trading is an advanced strategy and shouldn’t be jumped into by inexperienced traders, regardless of how easy any commercial makes it appear.
Day trading the Forex might be a popular fad style right now, and there probably are Forex traders who make some decent money with this style, but the very nature of day trading with all the short term trades makes it more difficult to have accurate technical analysis of the upcoming trends.
You may avoid most of the major losses by having such short term trades, but you’ll also miss out on any major breakouts that could have made you far more money with a long term strategy.
The same leverage that allows for decent profit to make on a lot of short term trades is the same leverage that can also cause you to lose money on a lot of short term trades. Some inexperienced traders tend to believe the short term trades act as a hedge to protect you, but this isn’t the case. Day trading is not any safer than long term trades. If anything, they’re more dangerous.
Day trading is all around the short time, and requires an enormous amount of attention, skill, and concentration. While there are probably many Forex traders who prefer this method, the real money to be made is learning how to use technical and fundamental analysis on longer trades where you can take advantage of channel breakouts.
Without ever taking advantage of the breakouts in the Forex market, day trading Forex currency will never be able to match the profits of traders who have systems that allow them to take advantage of long term runs in the currency market.
While there is certainly a place for day trading the Forex, there are just other Forex trading systems that could offer more profits with less risk.
If you’re dead set on day trading, make sure you understand the intricacies of the Forex market first to make sure you understand the markets before jumping to advanced Forex trading strategies like day trading.

The IRS requires banks, stockbrokers, casinos, etc. to report who they paid money to, above a certain amount ($10 to $1,200??) (e.g. interest, dividends, gambling winnings, etc.) via a Social Security or ITIN number. Without a verified number they must withhold some amount (20% to 35% ??) of any funds due you and send them to the IRS to cover any possible taxes due.
In your case, you'd get a ITIN (from http://www.irs.gov) to file with these companies and use it to file your US federal income tax form.
Being a foreign national student may exempt you from actually having to pay US federal income tax or it may be a credit taken on your native country's tax system. But you'll still need a verified number before you can apply for an exemption or a foreign tax credit.

Go to a bookstore and load up on books on technical analysis. Don't worry if the examples are from stocks or futures. The ideas are the same for forex.
Most forex dealers give you charting tools for technical analysis on the trading platform they provide free when you sign up.

There are many services out there that will take your money to trade Forex and give you a percentage return. However most of them are scams that will take your money and run. I know of no reliable company that will invest Forex for you.

I think the trader's forum with the most number of members on the internet today is http://elitetrader.com. They have separate threads for stocks, forex, options and everything else related to trading the financial markets. They also have a chatroom that gets busy when the markets are open.
You can also try http://moneytec.com, and http://trade2win.com
Cheers!

Hi,
Different countries have different laws.
Generally speaking, if you're just trading for your friends and relatives, you probably don't need to be registered.
However, if you're looking to trade professionally (on behalf with clients), then it's a more complicated matter.
Hope this helps.

The good thing about forex trading is that you can learn it risk free. Yes, risk free! All you need to do is open a demo account with any forex broker. You can do that in five minutes on the internet and start with forex trading. On the demo account, you will be provided with real time data that you can use to make buy/sell decisions but you will be using fake or virtual money. Since you are not using your real money, you are not going to lose even a single cent.
If you want to play tennis you need to practice. Same with forex trading, with a practice of a few weeks you will be confidant enough to start live trading.
